BENJAMIN B. SOULLY, OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS.

NECKTIE-SUPPORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,553, dated January 5, 1886.

Application filed March 10, 1884. Serial No.123,599. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN B. SoULLY, of Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Necktie Supporters, which will, in connection with the accompa nying drawings,be hereinafter fully described, and specifically defined in the appended claim.

This invention relates to that class of neck tie-supporters for which Letters Patent of the United States No. 293,792 were issued to me on the 19th day of February, 1884; and it consists in the construction and combination of the divers devices embodied therein, as will, in connection with the accompanying drawings, be hereinafter more particularly and fully set forth and claimed.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a supporter, showing in an incipient stage my invention. Fig. 2 is a view like Fig. 1, except that it shows an advanced stage in my invention. Fig. 3 is also a similar view, but showing the invention complete. Fig. 4 is avertical section taken through Fig. 3 on line W. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken on line X, Fig. 3, and as viewed from above said line.

In said several views the respective parts have been, in so far as an analogy exists, marked to correspond with that shown in my said former patent; and hence it represents the body of the supporter, which may be of any desired and suitable material, and of any size and contour which experience or fashion may dictate, and it may be connected with the tie proper either by the devices shown in my said former patent or by means of stitches passing through holes at in the sup porter, (shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3,) or by any known means.

The loop 0, by which the supporter is attached to the collar-stud e of the wearer, is preferably formed in the manner shown in my said former patent, with the exception of the central part, z,which I enlarge in circular form, as shown. This eye is passed through an elongated narrow opening in the body, as in said former patent, a hole, d, being formed in the body central to said enlargement t, and two radial slots, ff, are cut therein, when part 70 between said slits and at the bottom of enlargement t is turned rearward to constitute a catch or stop to prevent the supporter from moving upward on stud c after it has been placed thereon, the relative position of the supporter, the loop a, stud e, and catch 70 being clearly shown in Fig. 4. The remaining metal around hole d,which is shown at Z, may be then forced forward, as shown in Fig. 2, when it is turned outward and folded down over the Wire 71 to secure the same to body a, as shown in Figs. 3, 4: 5.

I claim as my invention- In a necktiesupporter, a catch or stop, It, arranged to engage the lower part or edge of the collar-stud to prevent the rising of the supporter when in use, substantially as specifled.

BENJAMIN B. SCULLY.
